What watch should i get?

[joejoenissan]

Requirements: Under 200 US dollars
No chronographs/plasticy/ digital watches
MUST look good on a 6.4 wrist!

Thats it! GO!

P.S. i know many of you hate the pic me a watch threads, but i in all honesty want to know whats out their in my price range.

Please no typical WUS answers like makos and the Seiko skx lineup thanks.

Ok, maybe this is a "typical WUS answer" but I think this Seiko 5 would look great. Only $90 bucks too.... Thats a lot of nice straps, or hell the same watch in a different color!! (Some more specific things you want would be nice. E.G. movement type, style of watch......)


(Click for Amazon.com link!)

Or if you want to spend $200 exactly.....


(Same as above)

You came to WUS to get non-WUS recommendations? Very funny :)

Look at Orient, Seagull, Seiko, and perhaps a quartz Victorinox. (might be more than $200, but you'll probably get a sapphire crystal.)

+1 on the Orient watches. Check out their website and wait for the 50% discounts that come around quite often. Their mechanicals can't be beat for the money. They also have quartz watches and many case sizes.

I bought a Planet Orient...

Agreed that Orients could be good. The CDB05001W (and other colors) are fantastic value with sapphire crystal and a solid bracelet for under $170. With a 38.5mm case diameter, it should look modern, but not overly large on a small wrist.


A budget buster would be a Sandoz HK Airking homage ($240). Classic looks, ETA movement, and classic smaller size.

PMWF also has a Borel that is similar:

Definitley a Certina DS Action:
- 40.5 mm (Good size for your wrist)
- Quartz ETA F06.111 movement (Regular Swiss movement)
- Sapphire Crystal (no scratches)
- Swiss Made
- 200M water resistant
- 316L stainless steel

Can be found for 250 Euro....

Sorry but if your eliminating the seiko sk's your missing out on the best buy for the money IMHO. There's a reason why its the "typical WUS" response & you wont be dissappointed.
